John Dustin departed from the agenda to allow Richard Diedrich to update the Board on the Bridge fact finding that he has been doing in conjunction with the Upper Pine Fire Department. The grant is due October 19, 2017 for state review. It will then be sent to the FEMA. Richard has talked with Andy Hawk at BP and was referred to Ms. Mosley. He would like to set up a meeting with BP to seek their help and stresses that this is a community effort and not just a neighbor effort. He will would like Fire Chief Evans along with a couple of board members to attend this meeting. Not date or site for the meeting has been set. Richard has determined that the top of the bridge is about 10- 11 inches below the revised flood plain plan. The ramps to the bridge would be at a 6 – 6 ½% grade requiring some grading. The Board thanked Richard for all of his hard work during this fact finding period.

Culvert update – John Dustin reported that he had cleared the culvert on the north end of Ludwig Drive. He and Jim Clay cleared other culverts to drain under the driveways. John Dustin suggested that the culvert cleaning be managed by the landowners and that this be added to the By laws. Jim Clay and Ken Le Roy added a length of culvert to the existing culvert at the junction of Ludwig Drive and PRRC. John Dustin then added rock to the drop off on the curve.
Mailboxes – ¾” road base was ordered for the area around the mailboxes. Jim Clay spread the road base.
Violations – This will be discussed during the closed session after the adjournment of the meeting.
Fall grading – The road from the bridge to the junction of Ludwig Drive and PRRC needs some attention. After some discussion, Rob Mc Laughlin offered to use his tractor and the road maintainer to pull gravel from the sides of the road and smooth out the rough areas. The road maintainer was purchased several years ago and has been stored at the Wickmans.
NEW BUSINESS – The Building department no longer lists the construction cost information on the building permit. This affects the CC&R regarding impact fees. New language needs to be written to reflect these changes. John Dustin has previously suggested three alternative methods. Pat Le Roy will visit with the Building department next week and report back to the board. Florian and Shelley Walchak paid a portion of their impact fee so that excavation could begin on their property.
